2) 7019 - 275 = ___ thousand, ___ hundred and ________-________

6, 6, 4, 4

6, 7, 4, 4

5, 7, 4, 4

5, 6, 4, 4

The given question asks for the result of subtracting 275 from 7019. To find the answer, we subtract each place value separately. Starting from the rightmost digit, we subtract 5 from 9, which gives us 4. Moving to the next digit, we subtract 7 from 1, which is not possible. Therefore, we need to borrow 1 from the next digit, making it 10. Subtracting 7 from 10 gives us 3. Continuing to the next digit, we subtract 2 from 0, which is not possible. Again, we need to borrow 1 from the next digit, making it 9. Subtracting 2 from 9 gives us 7. Finally, we subtract 2 from 7, which gives us 5. Therefore, the correct answer is 6744.

3) 1/12 + 1/24 = 3/12

True.

False.

The given equation states that 1/12 + 1/24 equals 3/12. However, this is incorrect. When adding fractions, the denominators must be the same. In this case, the denominators are 12 and 24. To add these fractions, we need to find a common denominator, which is 24. So, 1/12 is equivalent to 2/24. Therefore, the correct equation should be 2/24 + 1/24 = 3/24, not 3/12. Hence, the answer is false.

4) 7210 = 721 hundreds

True.

False.

The statement "7210 = 721 hundreds" is false. The number 7210 cannot be represented as 721 hundreds because 721 hundreds would be equal to 72100, not 7210. Therefore, the correct answer is false.

The statement "7210 = 721 hundreds" is false. The number 7210 cannot be represented as 721 hundreds because 721 hundreds would be equal to 72100, not 7210. Therefore, the correct answer is false.

5) 5622 - 783 = _______

4869

4889

4836

4839

The correct answer is 4839 because when 783 is subtracted from 5622, we get 4839.

Explanation

The correct answer is 4839 because when 783 is subtracted from 5622, we get 4839.

6) In the division of 93 and 5, the quotient is 18 and the remainder is 3.

True.

False.

In the division of 93 by 5, the quotient is the result of dividing 93 by 5, which is 18. The remainder is the amount left over after dividing 93 by 5, which is 3. Therefore, the statement that the quotient is 18 and the remainder is 3 is correct.

11) Arrange the following fractions in an ascending order.
1/4, 2/3, 6/10, 2/5
Hint: Make all denominators the same and compare.

2/3, 2/5, 6/10, 1/4

1/4, 6/10, 2/5, 2/3

2/5, 1/4, 6/10, 2/3

1/4, 2/5, 6/10, 2/3

To arrange fractions in ascending order, we need to compare their values. One way to compare fractions is to make their denominators the same. In this case, we can convert 6/10 to 3/5 by dividing both the numerator and denominator by 2. Now, we have 1/4, 2/3, 2/5, and 3/5. Comparing these fractions, we can see that 1/4 is the smallest, followed by 2/5, then 3/5, and finally 2/3, which is the largest. Therefore, the correct answer is 1/4, 2/5, 6/10, 2/3.

14) Larry has a mass of 45kg. His younger brother's mass is 3 times lighter than his mass. After 3 years, both of them gained 7kg 100g. What is the total mass of the two brothers after 3 years?

74kg 200g

74 kg

74kg 400g

74kg 300g

Larry's mass = 45kg
Larry's brother's mass = 45kg divided by 3 = 15kg
After 3 years,
Larry's mass = 45kg + 7kg + 100g = 52kg 100g
Larry's brother's mass = 15kg + 7kg + 100g = 22kg 100g
Total mass after 3 years = 52 kg 100g + 22kg 100g = 74kg 200g

Explanation

Larry's mass = 45kg
Larry's brother's mass = 45kg divided by 3 = 15kg
After 3 years,
Larry's mass = 45kg + 7kg + 100g = 52kg 100g
Larry's brother's mass = 15kg + 7kg + 100g = 22kg 100g
Total mass after 3 years = 52 kg 100g + 22kg 100g = 74kg 200g

15) 12/29 = 57/29 - ___/29

The given equation is 12/29 = 57/29 - ___/29. To solve this equation, we need to find the missing value. Since the denominators are the same, we can subtract the numerators. 57 - 12 = 45. Therefore, the missing value is 45. Hence, the correct answer is 45, 45.
